Stop the prejudices. Do not eliminate any more starches from your diet before summer, under the pretext of wanting to keep the line. On the contrary, a daily consumption of rice aims to avoid weight gain.
How ? Its nutrients make it possible to meet the majority of your needs. Its wealth in complex carbohydrates and fiber helps you maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Its high content of vitamins and minerals also improves the feeling of satiety between meals and thus avoid snacking at any time of the day. Do not hesitate to add rice to your summer salads. Its various varieties offer you a range of tasty tastes and help you limit your calorie intake.
According to which criteria to select your rice?
the White rice loses its nutrients during its manufacture. It is less interesting nutritionally.
the long rice steamed is cooked with its husk, then shelled and dried. The nutrients, which migrate to the inside of the grain, are thus preserved.
the basmati rice has the highest content of amylose, a slowly digested starch. It has a lower glycemic index than other rices.
the complete rice, with the preservation of its natural envelope, offers you a significant richness in vegetable proteins, fibers, vitamins and minerals. Its glycemic index is lower than that of white rice. This variety remains very interesting to avoid insulin peaks and avoid cravings.
Less well known, the black rice comes from an aquatic plant. However, it is excellent for health thanks to its high protein content. Its taste, often associated with that of hazelnuts, remains more pronounced than white rice.
